Re: Daughters of the American Revolution to remove references to "Jesus" and "white crosses"

Quote:

The organization published a second edition of a book called “Forgotten Patriots” in 2008 to document the roughly 6,600 black, Indian and mixed-race Patriots, whose names a team of D.A.R. genealogists culled by cross-referencing military rolls with census records moldering in library reference rooms from Providence, R.I., to Albany.

First they force Whites to accept nonwhites in all areas where they congregate, then they go after Whites' religion. Isn't this the pattern?

Sure is. Anti-white hatred and Christophobia. Interesting the timing on this, since some people think that another revolution is coming. Going after guns and religion, just like was stated on the campaign trail. "Put down your Guns and Bibles" he said, but that means it's time to pick 'em up, really.

“A group of us went through the Ritual and Missal and compared the old version and the new version,” one member told Fox News Todd Starnes. “Every single prayer closing in the name of Jesus Christ no longer included the name of Jesus Christ.”

From April 2012

During all of these Holy Week services, I prayed fervently regarding the opposing views that have surfaced about the beautifully, thoughtfully prepared NSDAR Ritual and Missal which was published last fall.

The Executive Committee unanimously endorsed making the prayers and rituals more inclusive of all faiths. Most members have praised its inclusiveness.
Each one of us finds our spirituality in different ways. The National Society is comprised of women of many faiths as well as some who choose other ways of recognizing their being.

However, NSDAR was not organized to promote religion. Established by an Act of Congress, the NSDAR Act of Incorporation states (the names of the women mentioned)
“…are hereby created a body corporate and politic, in the District of Columbia, by the name of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, for patriotic, historical, and educational purposes, to perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence, by the acquisition and protection of historical spots and the erection of monuments; by the encouragement of historical research in relation to the Revolution and the publication of its results; by the preservation of documents and relics, and of the records of the individual services of Revolutionary soldiers and patriots, and by the promotion of celebrations of all patriotic anniversaries; to carry out the injunction of Washington, in his farewell address to the American people, ‘to promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge,’ thus developing an enlightened public opinion and affording to young and old such advantages as shall develop in them the largest capacity for performing the duties of American citizens; to cherish, maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom; to foster true patriotism and love of country, and to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of liberty.”

The eligibility to belong to the National Society is for any woman, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who is at least eighteen years of age and who is lineally descended from a man or woman who provided unfailing loyalty to the cause of American Independence. Our DAR Motto was originally: “Home and Country” and it wasn’t until 1978 that it was revised to be “God, Home and Country.”

The Executive Officers believe that the new Ritual and Missal can be used by members of any faith, substituting words as they wish, changing the prayers to suit the needs of the meeting in which they are being used.

At our Executive meetings, knowing that we are all Christian, we pray in the Name of Jesus. When those are present whose faith is unknown, we pray in God’s name. However, we all recognize that when Christians pray in God’s name we are, indeed, praying in Christ’s name because the Christian faith believes in the Trinity of God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We also understand that our Jewish members know God as Jehovah or Yahweh, Muslim members use the name Allah for God and there are those whose spirituality may have a still different higher power or none at all.
